Completely clear, slow sinking (1.25-2.0 ips) fly line designed for stealthy presentations in clear water to skittish fish. An ideal clear intermediate sinking fly line for stillwater or to get the fly down just below the wave action to stay tight to the fly. Small diameter line cuts through the air for optimized casting performance. A must have line for the serious lake fly angler.

intermediate line,

July 30, 2015

By: murphthebear

from Provo Utah

"Received my Orvis intermediate 5 weight line in a timely manner. Tried it out yesterday. It cast excellent even though I had not stretched it after putting it on the reel. It didn't take long to get the kinks out. The line worked flawless and I caught and released more than 10 nice rainbows. The sink rate worked perfect as we were fishing in 5 to 10 feet of water. Love the line."

Works as advertized.,

June 7, 2015

By: Dooghie

from Oregon

"I purchased this line for targeting well educated trout in very clear lakes. I fish several of the lakes in the High Cascades in Oregon, and the trout in a couple of those lakes have seen it all. The clear line allows me to use shorter tippets which is helpful especially when the wind picks up. The temperature was in the low thirties when I first used it, and it took a few minutes for the coils to relax but they eventually did. I've fished better handling lines, but it worked well for what I needed it for, and the tradeoff was worth it."

"Having used this fly line last year and so far this year, it has proven to really help my warmwater stillwater fishing. Like this line."

Slick,

June 19, 2014

By: Pain

from E Longmeadow, MA

"This line is fast through the rod and goes like heck. I"m using it on the flats of Monomoy on the Cape where stealth is an issue. Line is really invisible and reacts well. It does however end up with tangles in the basket because of the softness. But other traits out weigh tangles."

Warmwater only,

"Same here bought it without knowing it is a warmwater fly line.

Casts well in warm weather conditions though."

Response from Orvis:By Orvis Customer Service, October 8, 2013

Thank you for your feedback regarding this product. In order to make the line completely clear, the Access Clear Intermediate line is constructed with a monofilament core. Because monofilament cores are stiffer than braided cores, lines built in this manner tend to have more memory. In order to get this memory out of the line in cooler water or weather, stretch the line an arm's length at a time before fishing and the memory will be greatly reduced. Again, we appreciate your feedback. As always, we offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all of our products.

Be wary,

May 21, 2013

By: SearunCuttGuy

from Oregon Coast

"Bought this line to chase searun cutts.This line takes a long time casting each day to get the memory out of it. I'm using an Access mid arbor reel. If it's the least bit chilly out then it will just lay there in spool size coils and tangle up. However, if its warm (over 70) and once the memory is out it does cast beautifully. I'll rate it a 2 instead of 1 for this reason. It should advertised as a warm water line. I have other Orvis lines and reels and love them."
